In the 1970’s a group of musicians in Chile set the revolution to music by forming the New Song movement – a mix of folk music, contemporary protest song, popular poetry and added Andean pan pipes, flutes and the charango, a tiny mandolin-style guitar. The Pinochet regime quickly banned all instruments associated with the movement, and one singer was murdered. Pinochet’s return to Chile has brought fear of oppression, causing musicians to raise their instruments again in protest. – The Scotsman
